How To Make Superb Matured Beers

After you've made a new beer, you will be keen to try it.  When your beer is just 3 or 4 weeks old, it will be good to drink but it won't be fantastic. Home crafted beer needs many more weeks in the bottle to allow it time to taste fantastic.  So just remembmer that while it might be irresitible ... sampling it at an early age is not a fair test of the final taste of the beer.

We recommend that you get your next brew going straight away so you can build up a stock of beer that will be allowed to mature before drinking.  This will ensure that you don't end up drinking all your beer while it is too young & you will be able to reserve batches to improve with ageing.

The best way to get the most from your new hobby is to keep your fermenter working constantly. When you bottle one batch, get another one going.

This means that in a few months time, you will have built a good stock of beer that has matured in the bottle. From then on, you will always have superb matured beers to enjoy with your friends and you can put all your new batches away to age.
